00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
T series is just a few subscribers away

00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.480
[sirens] Red alert! Red! Alert!

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:11.460
I'm calling upon my last trick I have up my sleeve

00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:13.580
I didn't think it would come to this,

00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:15.380
but I guess I have no choice.

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.940
The one thing that can stop 🅱️-Series

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:21.400
[*Clap*               *Clap*]

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.800
~Book Review~

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:23.980
[Calming Piano] You noticed?

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:26.280
How as soon as I stopped doing book-reviews,

00:00:26.380 --> 00:00:27.340
(Sorry about that, by the way)

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:29.840
🅱️-Series just sways in out of nowhere, ( sways? seriously?)

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:31.160
and took over? ( NOT YET )

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:32.980
But no! I realize now,

00:00:32.980 --> 00:00:35.080
in the eleventh hour, what I must do.

00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:37.700
I must review books again.

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:39.120
That's what everyone wants.

00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:41.220
That's what will stop 🅱️-Series

00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:42.780
It's never been so clear to me.

00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:44.740
I can't believe I realized it just now.

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.500
[Clap Clap... Clap] Book Time!

00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:47.880
The first book, ahh well..

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.680
I read alot of books, but I wanted to select

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:52.440
the ones that I really really loved.

00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:54.320
There's three of them that I wanna talk about,

00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.820
annd uh, hopefully you'll check them out as well.

00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:58.240
The first one is the

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.540
"The Master and Margarita" written by Nik.. Mikale ..Mik-hail Bulgakov ( Well now that's a confusing name isn't it ?)

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.940
It was written during the Soviet Union Regime,

00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:08.460
and during that time, I didn't know this, but

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:11.360
Atheism was sort of forced upon the population.

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:14.820
Uh, It was forced in schools and people were generally-

00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:17.280
harassed into becoming Atheists.

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.320
So this novel is sort of an answer to that.

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:24.400
A lot of Russian books I've read so far fff... [eahahah] are features themes- ( someone better add this to the moaning compilation )

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:25.560
around Christianity.

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.660
But I think it's safe to say I've never read a book like this.

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.840
It's, uh, black-satire? (black-satire?)

00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:35.460
It's a black-satire comedy around Christianity.

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:38.960
It's very weird, but I really loved it. (i wonder it now lol)

00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:44.200
Ironically Mikhail, the author, [pause] burned the first version of this book

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:46.900
because he thought he'd never make it as a writer, ( but he did so, irony i guess )

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:48.960
writing a story like this, during this time

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:52.080
Annd ah, he wasn't wrong. [chuckle]

00:01:52.220 --> 00:01:54.220
Because when he actually finished it ten years later,

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:56.140
he died shortly after. (rip)

00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:57.400
There's nothing funny about that.

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:00.940
And it wasn't published until 26 years after that, ( wow! )

00:02:00.940 --> 00:02:03.560
so it took a while, but it was recognized as

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.240
a masterpiece, and it really is. ( this book got the seal of pewds! )

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.200
The story follows a mysterious character, (but can that character do THIS?)

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:11.260
who visits a group of writers sitting in a park,

00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:13.260
during an autumn afternoon, ( but why wouldn't they just send an e-mail xD )

00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:16.640
and ah, this mysterious character is uhm

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:18.640
A professor in black magic.

00:02:18.940 --> 00:02:21.360
This group of writers are obviously curious who he is, (i mean obviously if someone walked into me i'd wonder who that person is smh felix )

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.080
and they're suspicious that he may be a spy

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:26.300
And he gets mistaken for one.

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:30.120
This mysterious character is the Devil reincarnated. (when did the devil die?)

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.400
And named in the book, Voland

00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:37.320
All the writers are Atheists and Voland describes the ( obviously lol )

00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.220
second setting of the story, which is in Jerusalem.

00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:42.500
during the someone-something trials (I don't know that name.)

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.500
Everyone knows about this (oof shots fired on me)

00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.500
The-the trials about the execution of Jesus

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:50.500
The writers almost say the-aw that it's possible that these trials never happened

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:52.500
It's possible that Jesus never existed

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.500
And Voland sort-of smugley

00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:57.100
describes this event as if he was actually there

00:02:57.100 --> 00:02:59.100
which is obviously impossible

00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:01.100
Voland also predicts that

00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:03.520
one of the writers' head will come off in an accident

00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:04.100
And

00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:06.100
this of course gets brushed off

00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:08.100
BUTT (tee hee)

00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:10.100
later becomes true

00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:12.100
and get's witnessed by one of the other writers, Ivan (EEE-Vawn)

00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:14.100
Ivan goes absolutely crazy

00:03:14.100 --> 00:03:16.100
trying to pursue Voland,

00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:20.220
Trying to capture him in absolute madness, absurdity, and comedy

00:03:20.220 --> 00:03:20.720
*inhales*

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:23.060
I loved reading this part, it get's even better from there

00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:26.840
The Devil's midnight ball is- was one of my favorite parts

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.460
of anything i've read in a while

00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:30.180
it's-it's just fantastic

00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:31.560
So I will just end [this review] there

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.060
BUTT (haw haw)

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.120
Mikail, the author of "The Master and Margarita"

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.120
He used to be a playwright

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:37.620
So

00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:39.620
It makes the writing very visual

00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:41.620
I can really *see* all the characters

00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:43.620
...and the mannerisms

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:45.620
and the humor in front of me.

00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:47.620
It really feels like you're there when you read it

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:49.620
and-which really works well for the comedy as well

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:52.240
I laughed out many times while reading this book

00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.960
and all this is really put together in a masterful story

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.700
it's a story that blends history

00:03:56.700 --> 00:03:58.700
with the author's own stories

00:03:58.700 --> 00:04:00.700
that he-he lived through

00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:01.200
AND

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:03.200
his own strides

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:05.200
it's a perfect balance

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:06.000
I think

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.500
of-of

00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:07.140
good and evil

00:04:07.140 --> 00:04:08.680
and I really REALLY loved it

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.540
it was actually recommended by one of you guys

00:04:10.540 --> 00:04:11.040
So...

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:12.600
I read one of the comments saying

00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:13.440
in another book review

00:04:13.440 --> 00:04:13.940
saying

00:04:13.940 --> 00:04:15.620
oh "I really think gonna love this book!"

00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:16.120
and

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:16.940
You were right!

00:04:16.940 --> 00:04:17.840
So thank you very much!

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:18.960
"The Master and Margarita"

00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:19.460
*CLAP CLAP*

00:04:19.460 --> 00:04:20.120
5 out of 5

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.120
Thank you for suggesting an actual good book

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:22.620
*chuckles*
